Editing Mekton (section)

==Editions of Mekton==
* "White Box" ''Mekton'' (1984) - this was closer to a board game than to the RPG we know today. It had a large hex map representing the terrain of an entire planet.
* ''Mekton'' (1984) - softcover book using a custom percentile-based task resolution system.
** ''Roadstriker'' (1986) - rules for human-scale transformable vehicles and power suit mecha, more advanced transformable mecha design options, and a police drama adventure
* ''Mekton II'' (1987) - converted ''Mekton'' to run on the ''Interlock System'', later used in ''[[Cyberpunk 2020]]''.  Cover art by [[Ben Dunn]].
** ''Mekton Techbook''/''Mekton Technical System'' (''MTB''/''MTS'') (1991) - a major conversion of the mecha-building system of ''Mekton''
* ''Mekton Zeta'' (メクトン Z) (1994) - general update and improvement of ''Mekton II''. Significantly more animu. [[Weeaboo|This is very much an improvement.]]
** ''Mekton Zeta Plus'' (メクトン Z プラス) (1994) - general update and improvement of the ''Mekton Techbook''
*''Gundam Senki'' (2000) - Japanese language ''Mobile Suit Gundam'' RPG using the ''Mekton'' system.  A US release is in development hell.

Another edition of Mekton has been announced and funded on Kickstarter. According to the head designer, this game will be the game that he originally envisioned Mekton to be. It will be what Mekton was like when it was a homebrew he and his buddies went nuts with before its animu-ness was watered down for a commercial release for the then-uninitiated western public, hence its name, "Mekton Zero". Hunt up a deck of cards or something, you're gonna be waiting awhile. Sadly as of June 2018 the project has been cancelled and the kickstarter donations refunded. They do promise to finish it eventually, but with all their focus on the Witcher and cyberpunk red it might be even longer. 

Both of these have since been released, along with supplements, DLC and of course who could forget the [[skub|extremely successful and beloved]] CyberPunk 2077 video game. With Mekton not completely forgotten with a reference by R.Talsorian to a Bundle of Holding post back in 2019 and Mekton being sold on their website, the eternal question begs: Is Mekton Zero next up?
